Sweet Potatoes...okay for chickens to eat

I have been told that chickens should not eat raw potatoes. I am wondering whether this is also true for sweet potatoes. Since sweet potatoes are only a distant relative of the potato I am guessing they are okay. Does anyone know for sure if i can share scraps of sweet potatoes with my flock?
